I recall that when Reggie White won his case, the Eagles received a first round pick as compensation for him becoming a free agent. Give the Pats a first round pick and we will be happy to pack his bags for him
Need to extend mankins......the 33rd pick in the 2012 draft will not make a difference until Brady is done.

It was worse than that, it was agenda driven pot stirring. He's basically extolling Mankins to hold the league and his peers up while he attempts to extort his particular franchise...
I think your recollection is incorrect. White became a FA in 1993 because he won the lawsuit he had filed and his Eagles deal was up and they didn't offer him a deal and they weren't allowed to use the tag on him as part of the settlement of that case.
The difference here as even Florio pointed out is this case has never advaned to trial because the appeals court basically ruled it's remained a labor dispute... White was fighting for FA for his class. These guys were basically fighting for leverage in a labor negotiation...

I agree that the legal cases are not identical. My point was that if Mankins status may become the sticking point in the CBA deal as Borges indicates the league has a way toresolve the matter which is fair to the Pats.
